Bell vs Directv

[311Man]

I have just purchased an HDTV and utilizing OTA. Wow picture is incredible. However, running standard D* and looking to upgrade to HD in satellite perspective. With all the issues with the H20 I read about and lack of HD programming on D* (ya I know about the 100 channels blah blah blah) I am considering Bell. Previous thread feedback told me NHL in HD Bell is the way to go but what are the trade off by leaving D* for Bell as a whole. Kids love the Disney Channel programming which I assume must be on Bell in some perspective.
Hope some of you can shed some light.

Be warned... D* takes all of their HD and downrez's it to 1280X1080i and then bit starves it on top of that. Not what I really call HD....

How is BEV HD quality and performance of the 9200 HD PVR? What does BEV lack on programming perspective?

I had both, now have Dish and BEV. BEV blows them both out of the water!

BEV blows Dishnet out of the water when it comes to PQ or when it comes to HD programming (channels)? Please specificy.

Does the BEV 9200 OTA function south of the border?

PQ. It kills DirecTV in # of channels but has fewer HD channels than Dish.
